Are those your best options?  Those are [b]mostly [/b]fine mid-tier chain, but certainly nothing to brag about.  Well, at least you can come to DC to really experience fine dining.[/quote]

What's the difference between "fine dining" and "good food", besides $$$$? I'm asking sincerely.[/quote]

Nothing. This is the thing bozos like these DC posters don't get.

I grew up in NYC and the biggest thing people who don't understand good food don't get is IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE.

Some of the best food in Manhattan is cheap. Joe's Pizza, the hole in the wall dim sum places in Chinatown, Korean fried chicken joints, etc.

Lastly, like PP said, the places listed above aren't chains. Founding Farmers and I believe Jaleo have other locations, but they're hardly "mid-tier chains." The rest only have 1 location. [/quote]

Peter Chang has NINE locations.  It’s a chain.

Cool, and it's still considered an excellent restaurant.

Shake Shack is a chain. Jaleo is a chain. Do you consider those crappy restaurants?

Something being a chain doesn't automatically mean it sucks. [/quote]

Crappy?  No.  Mid-tier chains?  Yes.

I didn’t say that chain restaurants automatically suck.  I like Jaleo.[/quote]

No, you just said "all" of the restaurants I listed were mid-tier chains, when they include places like Inferno, which is run by a former Jean Georges sous chef. [/quote]

Reading is indeed fundamental.[/quote]

So you maintain there are good restaurants on that list?

Listen -- DC has crappy restaurants and good restaurants. Kentlands and the surrounding area also has crappy restaurants and good restaurants. I don't know why you brought up this ridiculous "fine dining" argument, but it's just not a good argument for why Kentlands is an inferior place to live.  [/quote]
